19. Weekend Of Living Dangerously

Complete story — includes the ending

Emma and Mads go to confront Ethan about what had happened between him and Sutton at the reservation, but he refuses to speak to her. Dan tells Ethan that Emma (as Sutton) was the only one who stood by his side during the trial, but because of Sutton's lie, Ethan is still mad at Emma. Ted comes home to find Kristin looking through his old files on Justin's case. Emma then confronts Sutton and Sutton wants to pay Emma to leave town. At the end of their argument, Emma tells Sutton that she's going to reveal herself to the Mercers before she goes anywhere. Emma finds Kristin crying in the country club bathroom and tries to comfort her while Sutton looks on. She finds out that Kristin thinks that Ted and Rebecca had an affair. Kristin also wants Emma to accompany Laurel to the Coachella Festival. Meanwhile, Mads and Ryan haven't been spending any time together because of her recent involvement with the twins and what happened with Derek. She hints that she thinks her dad is involved and Ryan tells her that she should find out the truth sooner than later. Emma finally catches Ethan and they figure out the truth about Sutton's lies. The group decides to focus on Rebecca and her possible involvement with everything that has been going on. Dan is getting suspicious of Alec. Emma, Laurel, Ethan, and the band are stranded in Buford Falls when their van breaks down. Ted assures Kristin that the phone call he had received the night Justin's mother died was from a doctor and not from Rebecca. It is later revealed in a conversation with Alec that Ted was lying. Theresa and Dan reconnect and it turns out that they had broken up because of Alec. Sutton and Thayer are researching Rebecca and find out that she was once married to a very wealthy man. They call up his residence and his housekeeper picks up. She was close to Rebecca and tells them that Rebecca had longed to return to Phoenix after the divorce, since the "love of her life" had lived there. Although she never knew his name, the housekeeper also tells them that she kept a locket with his photo in it, which prompts the two to go looking for it. Emma (as Sutton) tells Laurel that she is a virgin and Laurel tries to get her and Ethan together. Right after Mads and Thayer find out that Alec had proposed to Rebecca, Sutton and Thayer find out that the photo in Rebecca's locket was of Ted. Ethan finally admits to Emma that he had kissed Sutton on the ranch and an upset Emma tells him that a part of him will always wish that he could be with Sutton.
